Just...hold...little...longer

This one made me laugh! I read the title out loud a few times and kept laughing. I also love the symmetry between the plant that the fly is resting on and the background. My only real complaint is the fly itself which seems a bit too sharp. My minor complaint is that it's too centered but it seems to fit. I probably would have put the fly more to the left of the frame since that is the direction it seems to be facing (for the most part). Great job! 8

HAHA! Great designs on the back of the ladybug! Maybe try flames and a car # or even add some sponsors. Very original! Next time put more negative space in the front vs center the insect. 7

A new day and few rays of hope

This is a very softly lit subject and I wish the middle tree had more substance to it; a little darker. That way it would better match the contrast of the foreground which is very dark. I really like the volumetric lighting and the way the light pokes through the tree. Very good effort. 8

All Done

I studied this for a long time trying to think of different ways this could have been accomplished. I think your way is probably one of the better ways and how I might have done it as well. I imagined that the child's mother or father just called saying it's time to go. The child collected the chalk, got up and started to walk away. Very well done and well executed. The icing on the cake, to me at least, is the motion blur. This is one of those very simple yet very effective photos. 10

The Vast Boundaries of Brotherly Trust!!!

I think you were trying to go for a selective desat with this and you (mostly) succeeded. The lower parts of the sky are still a faint blue and not quite duotone yet. If I'm wrong, please tell me. I think the sunject could have used a different facial expression like one of great surprise or relief that the apple was hit instead of himself. Good effort overall.

Excellent subject for the free study but I think it's overexposed and/or oversharpened.

LOL! This is a hilarious photo and I love it! Perfect perspective and DOF. Did you pay these cows to pose just the way you wanted? :) 10!

Too closely cropped. Contrast seems a bit flat.

Extraordinary Bee

What kind of bee is this? Nice macro shot and good job cropping. Details are a little blurry on the bee itself. Maybe the camera's AF was focusing on the flower to its immediate left or maybe it's just compression playing tricks with my eyes.

Excessively grainy and poorly focused.
